Wanted It for a Crazy Quilt.


Governor Gray was one of the most
astonished persons ever seen for a few
moments the other afternoon. Among
the sight-seers at the new State Capitol
building were two nicely dressed ladies
who, after meeting the Governor and
being shown through with a great deal
of courtesy, stopped before one of the
beautiful lambrequins, which cost some
thing over $500, and both modestly re-
quested that they be permitted to cut
.just a small, little piece" as they
were both making ssuch lovely crazy
quilts" and they wanted so much to
have some of that lovely material in
them. If women could vote the Gov
ernor would surely lose those two
when the occasion presented itself.
After the ladies had somewhat hastily
departed, he said in conversation that
it was remarkable what some people
would ask for. Only recently he was
asked to mail some of the ground of
the State House yard to a man in Illi-
nois, who stated in his letter that he
had a little dirt from the grounds of
every State House in the Union except
Indiana. He got the dirt.-Indsamap-

Incredible. Recent discoveries, and
especially Darwin's observations, have
inclined naturalists to the belief that
birds Of prey have not the acute
sense of smell with which they were
once accredited. Their acute sight
seems better to account for their
actions. and they appear to be guided
by sight alone, as they never sniff any
thing, but dart straight at the object
of their desire. Their counterparts in
the ocean, however, undoubtedly see
and smell equally well, but
are more guided by smell than
sight. In both sharks and rays, the
eyes are good, and have a most dis
tinct expression; though, since they
scent their prey from a distance, and
swim up to it with great rapidity,
s'smell," as Lacepede says, 'may be
called their real eye" Smell, in Mr..
Herbert Spencer's definition, is antici-
patary taste; and the ann in which
sight. as the dominating sense, is sub
stituted for smell, the higher the evolu-
ton of the animal, is remarkably inter-
esting to follow, once the varieties of
sight are understood, and both sight
and smell are studied in connection
with the particular habits of the crea-
ture for which they were designed.
Turn where we will, sight and the or
gans Of sight are everywhere adapted
in the most perfect manner to the ne
cessities Of the animal world; and in
realizing this fact, we realize the truth
of the words: ''The first wonder is the
offspring of ignorance, the last is the
parent of alteration. - Chambers
Journal.
